While dining, the President and his trusted aide invited Alma O. Pardillo, an OFW based in Hong Kong, to break bread with them while hearing the latter's concerns.

The President also committed to shoulder the roundtrip airfare of Pardillo so she can go home to attend the college graduation of her child and to be with her children whom she hasn't seen for a long time.
